ECYFL will seek to use USSF Futsal Certified Referees and employ a 2-referee system whenever possible.

Futsal referees have completed 8 hours of training and successfully passed a written test over and above the standard referee certification. Game fees will reflect their additional credentials and training.

Referees shall be responsible for keeping time and applying the Futsal Laws of The Game as modified for ECYFL.

If necessary, USSF Referees Grade 8 or above, although non- Futsal certified officials may be used as the second referee.

Information on Futsal certification courses offered by the Massachusetts State Referee Committee may be found on the MSRC website www.massref.net

The primary referee jersey for ECYFL matches will be green, with black and gold as alternates.
